Perfect your methods of analytics and execution of Parallel Performance, to position yourself as a reference computer scientist in parallel architectures" 

Some aspects such as communications, load balancing, input/output management or memory access can penalize the overall performance of parallel applications. The computer scientist who masters these areas will have greater control over the parallel architectures on which they work, and can considerably improve their overall performance. 

This is the focus of this Postgraduate Certificate, which also analyzes cross-platform parallel computing and hybrid computing, combining different parallel programming paradigms. All this has been developed by a teaching team with experience in large multinational companies, leading large-scale parallel computing projects. 

This implies that the contents have not only the most advanced technological theory, but also the necessary practical computational perspective to know how to apply all this knowledge in real computing environments. The student will also have the advantage of being able to freely access all the content, without fixed schedules or face-to-face classes. The syllabus can be downloaded in its entirety from any device with internet access and can be studied at the pace chosen by the student.
